The donkey Debo has no thoughts of his own nor any knowledge of his own. He simply harps bollocks about "National team players must be good."

I guess Roque Junior was quality for Leeds being a Brazilian International defender.

The same donkey Debo told me last summer that "Squillaci is a good signing as he is a France International defender and acquitted himself well in the opening match of the WC against South Africa.

The same donkey Debo also told me that "Arsenal should sign Thomas Hitzlsberger as DM to replace Alex Song because he's a German international and captain to title-winning Stuttgart."

Its obvious a charlatan like Debo knows nothing about footie and just goes on players Wikipedia pages to see if they have played for their National team or not.

Its obvious that those like Debo who write essays know nothing whilst the likes of Ritchboy are more knowledgeable in the game.

Make una hurry up bring that £8m for Malouda and we'll chuck in Kalou for free.

Someone said Mertesacker is too rugged. False. If anything he tries to tackle too neatly.

Nah mehn, Meireles is wayyyy better than Ramires.

Every team needs 2 or 3 Meireles. He can contribute to the attacking play but most importantly I believe we are short in DM positions as Mikel remains unconvincing and Romeu is as yet untested.

The most important thing is to complement Meireles with a good right winger that can tap, but if all else fails, Anelka can do a good job there.

I don't wanna sound like prophet of doom so perhaps I leave it to Dayokanu to speak about the twin towers of comedy called Naldo and Mertesacker. Perhaps it was Naldo that made Mertesacker look bad, but I leave that to Dayo to deliver his judgement.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 12:59pm On Aug 30, 2011
Bring on Meireles, am happy with that.

Get another tippy-tappy guy instead of Modric, either now or in January.

In addition, Jose Enrique making Spain squad is simply a matter of time and exposure. Ignacio Monreal is not close to being better than Enrique. Santos making Brazil squad is logical as there is a dearth of LBs in Brazil.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread (the Night Is Darkest Just Before The Dawn) by Ibime(m): 1:03am On Aug 30, 2011
True, Santos may have improved since 2009 but bear in mind he is 28 and has little upside whilst Jose should be about 24 and has a lot of upside, is better defensively whilst Santos maybe better attacking wise but for the Prem Jose is better suited.

I am gone past arguing with charlatans like Debo. One more word and Ill start pulling up quotes from Debo about Squillaci's signing and how he's the best thing since sliced bread despite the fact those of us who've been watching Sevilla informed him that Squillaci is the drossest of the dross.

We need to know why a team (same players) that was breaking all scoring records in 09/10 and regularly beating teams 6-0 in the first 2 months of 2010/11 cannot "create chances" for Torres. Do Malouda and Kalou not regularly plunder 12+ goals per season within the same team? How come Mata can score within 15 minutes, yet Torres is still waiting for chance? Torres problem is psychological. He is not ready to receive chances cos he is scared of the reaction if he misses them. A hungry striker would be in the box waiting for any ball that drop his way, yet Torres is usually found hiding behind 2 or 3 defenders so that ball won't reach him.
Politics › Re: Fuel Subsidy Removal Is A Slap To The Face Of The Average Nigerian - My Analysis by Ibime(m): 12:11am On Aug 30, 2011
Abacha-era rates of inflation are in the offing if fuel subsidy is removed.

A country which due to corruption cannot refine its own crude oil should not be talking about subsidy in the first place. The square root of everything in Nigeria is corruption
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 12:04am On Aug 30, 2011
Bla bla bla. Torres gets chances. He would miscontrol a ball or position his body wrongly so that a ball which should be a chance turns to nothing. You say no one creates chances for him at Chelsea, then tell me why he hasn't scored for Spain since 19kporodim. Abi Spain don't create chances? A weakling like Torres would get a good pass. By the time th defender muscle him out, its no longer a chance. People were talking the same rubbish about Shevchenko and I said in the modern game, strikers don't wait for one on one, they create their own chances through movement, dribbling and strength. If being a striker required scoring one-on-ones and contributing nothing, then ninjas like Michael Owen would still be in business, and even me Ibime would be playing at the top level earning 200k per week. Torres is useless for now. EOD.

^^^He shoulda been playing for Arsenal.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 11:05pm On Aug 29, 2011
^^^ I hope they turn out better than his last recommendation Ramires and the last rubber-stamp he gave to Torres.

Someone mentioned Michel Bastos. . . not interested. . . dude is a glorified left-back.



Just came across this article. . . . I pray its more than just a rumour. . . .

Andre Santos does not compare to Jose Enrique. Y'all forget he was Brazil's LB in the Confederations cup. Largely unconvincing, he was replaced at left-back by Michel Bastos. He is above average, but not comparable to Enrique.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 7:32pm On Aug 29, 2011
Why should Kevin De Bruyne (Belgian) sources be coming from Denmark?

Decent addition I say!

Does anyone know if he played in Genk's UCL qualification matches cos that means he'd be cup-tied.

By the way, I've finally given up on JD, some ailments are incurable.
Weren't you and your cohorts Slimshady and Adeballz fighting running battles with me last season about Djorou?

Once again, I am right and Gaynners are wrong.

Am not overly concerned about Manure. Any decent team woulda flogged Arsenal yesterday. Its Citeh that worries me

Ramsey needs to go to a real club where he can learn real midfield play such as tracking back, pressing opponents and not giving balls away easily.

Im not sure about the Montolivo guy. The dude has flattered to deceive for the last 7 years. I understand he's knuckling down into becoming a real midfielder over the last season, but how come he is not established with Italy given their dearth of creativity in midfield?

The illest midfielder/winger in Fiorentina is Jovetic. If that dude could prove his fitness, Ill snap him up immediately.

BTW, Alvaro Perreira transfer almost confirmed. Watching Coentrao playing amazingly in central midfield for Madrid, I only hope that Perreira could replicate that in Chelsea central midfield. Also, if rumours of £40m for Modric are true, you best believe its an RA signing cos AVB can never spend £40m on Modric.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 10:25pm On Aug 28, 2011
^^^Lass is just one of 2 or 3 we need. Was thinking the same about Kaka but only on a loan deal. A permanent deal is for the doctors to decide cos dude got some physiological problems
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 9:40pm On Aug 28, 2011
^^ Lass Diarra at Portsmouth did more in 1 year than Fellaini did in his whole Everton career.

Sneijder and VDV also didnt establish themselves in Real.

I doubt Fellaini can establish himself in Real 'B' Team in Segunda division.

I said last summer that if Real dont want Benzema, we should have him, now Benzema is back on top despite the fact that JM wanted him out.

Right now, I would take both Lass and Gago from Real and they would improve our team considerably. Same for Higuain.

JM problem with Lass is that Lass likes to caress the ball too much before releasing the pass.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 8:57pm On Aug 28, 2011
Lampard aint finished, just going through poor form. For an old player to be finished, his legs must go first. If Lamps is finished, then Ramires hasn't started. When the team starts creating angles and moving off the ball in triangles, Lamps will resurface. Get Ramires out the team and the midfield will come back to life.


Berbatov is not needed. Last thing we need is more strikers. Lets sell some first.

Loyika better concentrate on his FPL team rather than giving Gaynners managerial advice. Last time I checked, he was propping up the league. grin

^^^Anelka would play a substantial role this season. . . . quote me. . .

He's the only one making things happen for AVB so far. Of all the strikers, he's the only one with the intelligence and class to complement whatever AVB wants to do.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 8:08pm On Aug 28, 2011
^^^Canales has already gone to Valencia I believe. He said he don't wanna leave Spain. Besides, he is not a sure-banker for title-challenging side. Guys like Javi Martinez, Iker Munain, Xabi Prieto would be good purchases. Lass Diarra would be brilliant and I would not have minded Steven Defour as well. Santi Cazorla woulda been a brilliant complement for Mata but hes already gone to Malaga.

Lets see what AVB would pull up in the next 3 days.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread:Home Of The Blues!!!! by Ibime(m): 7:00pm On Aug 28, 2011
Krasic is a right-winger - think workrate of Valencia with skills of Nedved. I don't know where English Press got the idea that Milos Krasic is a substitute for Modric - they play completely different positions.

Its not too late to buy anyone but Modric. If deals for the likes of De Rossi are too complcated, you can easily go and pay the buyout clause for the likes of Javi Martinez and Iker Munain. Honestly, we need to wake up in the next few days, otherwise this season will be one of rebuilding, but no title-challenge.

Why is Arshavin still on the pitch?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread (the Night Is Darkest Just Before The Dawn) by Ibime(m): 5:39pm On Aug 28, 2011
Wenger is a fool. Instead of solidifying the midfield with both Coquelin and Lansbury, the maga is picking passengers like Rosicky and Arshavin - sure fire bet for conceding bucketloads.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread (the Night Is Darkest Just Before The Dawn) by Ibime(m): 5:31pm On Aug 28, 2011
Kai! Wengers decision to take off Coquelin and play Arshavin in midfield yields instant dividendes - 3 goals in 10 mins.

Dayo is right. Mumuface Wenger is tactically inept!
